Hi Nancy,

 RH> Yes, very much so. Thinking back, it was 5 places we went to; I forgot
 RH> to count my dentist. There are a couple of places here where Steve saw
 RH> one doctor, I saw another but both in the same practice. Just have to
 RH> remember to request records from Dr. X and Dr. Y.

 NB> Such fun...  ;0   At least when it happens somewhat regularly, one
 NB> just drops into "moving" mode, and that's part of the usual things to
 NB> do...
 NB> If you ever actually settle permanently, it can drop off the radar for
 NB> you, and not be something to worry about any more...  ;)

I know--it's one of those "got to be done before............." things.
When we left HI, I only had to get my dental records as I carried the
medical ones with me (what wasn't on electronic format). Before Steve
retired, I had all the electronic format records printed off onto paper,
and have those with me now as well. (My records were lost for almost a
year, leading to this bit of paramoia.)

 NB>  NB>> abated, along with all the cap of ice melting... so Spring is
 NB> clearly  NB>> on the way...  finally...  ;)

 RH> Do you peruse seed catalogs or just harvest your veggies from the
 RH> grocery stores? We've gotten plants a few times but for the most part
 RH> our "garden" is the produce department or farmer's market.

 NB> I just harvest from the produce department... occasionally farmers
 NB> market or the equivalent...  Haven't even had seed catalogs show up
 NB> here for years... used to peruse them when they did, even though I
 NB> wasn't
 NB> going to be buying anything... but that's how long since I did
 NB> anything here... ;)  Probably the last decade I've just been enjoying
 NB> what
 NB> happens to come up with bulbs and perennials, not even putting in
 NB> flowering plants...  Some day maybe again... but dunno... ;)

We don't get the seed catalogs either; I think we did a couple of times
when we lived in NC before Steve went into the Army. Tried a garden a
few times but with not much success down on the coast either. Work,
school, raising kids, etc meant it wasn't the priority item.

 NB> little past the  NB>> limits to get something accomplished...  ;)

 RH> My left elbow was kicking up a bit the other day after using the
 RH> cutter so I didn't try any cutting yesterday. It has calmed down again
 RH> so I may try to get some 2.5" squares cut today. Have to do preliminary
 RH> trims before I can cut the size square I want so it's not a "one and
 RH> done" deal--that's why the elbow & wrist get achy.

 NB> Yeah, some things just naturally push the limit... but need doing...
 NB> and some wisdom as to how to space out the doing...  ;)

As in today's cutting session for QoV--I stopped abotu half an hour
before we ended for the day. Got about half my blue fabrics cut up for
my next quilt.

 NB>  RH>> But it hasn't gone for 50 or more years, like I think my mom's
 NB> tabasco  RH>> did.
 NB>  NB>> My tabasco sauce, on the other hand, is probably at least 40
 NB> years  NB>> old.. well, maybe only 30-ish...  I know I haven't bought
 NB> it in
 NB>  NB>> ages... just sits on the shelf... ;)  I use other stuff
 NB> though... :)

 RH> We used up our tabasco a couple (or more) years ago and haven't
 RH> bothered buying more. Still have enough other hot sauces on hand that
 RH> we don't need to get a replacement for the one.

 NB> And you know what to sub in if that is asked for, or is the usual
 NB> "proper" fit...  ;)

A drop or two of the home made will provide enough "zing" without the
vinegar-ish taste. (G)
